A Disastrous Forest Fire Raging Near
Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. "A disastrous
forest fire is raging near Meadow Lawn,
about fifteen miles from this city, and
many acres of fine timber have been de-
stroyed. The fire originated on the farm
of Meinhart Hassell. The barn caught fire
from some unknown cause, the flames
spreading to TIE dry grass in the parched
meadow and the woods were soon igniled.
The farmers are obliged to stand idly
by and see their possessions swept
from them on account OF the
scarcity of water, there being
hardly enough water for the stock. In
many instances the farmers saved their
property from destruction by setting their
stubble lands on fire ahead Of the main
fire. The fires extend over a tract of
country about three miles square aud
easily spread from one strip OF woods to
another. Much valuable property has al
ready been consumed, but it is though; the
progress of the fire has been checked and
that it will soon eXpend itself.

the United States revenue cutter Rush and
her sealskins aud fishing tackle taken

the captain was ordered to navigate the

with the Rush, coolly headed the Adams
for Victoria, b. C.. where she arrived few
days ago. The prize crew could do nothing

NEWFOUNDLAND GALES.


wholesale Loss Of Lie and Boats on the
Banks and tine Coast Of Labrador.
81. JOHNS, N. F., Sept. 8.-Reports daily
arriving from all parts Of the country go
to show that the gallo Of August 26 was ooe
that will long be remembered for the loss
Of life and the extent OF the damage sus-
tained from it. At and around the island OF
st. Pierre the gale ragged in all its fury. A
vessel, name unknown, was wrecked ON
the bank of Langley Island, near st. Pierre,
and as no trace OF her crew has yet been
found, it is feared that all must have been
lost. Several largo vessels went ashore on
Dog Island, near St. Pierre, and in many
places became total wrecks. One hundred
thousand dollars will not cover the extent
Of the damage to property sustained by
Ncwfou ndland vessels that were on the
banks during the storm. Dories swept
away, anchors slipped and burst. sails split
and torn. lines, twines and travis lost and
abandoned. is the daily report, aud many
vessel arriving has evcR sadder record to
tell Of how those who went forth in the
morning never had D chance Of returning,
but were swallowed up in the pitt
less storm or driven to sea to die Of
starvation. The French banker Acadienne
lost two OF her crew on tho banks in this
gale. the Joseph Amadie also had two OF
her crew swept overheard. The French
banker Chevreul reports having passed
large vessel bottom up on the banks, it be-
ing too rough at the time to make any close
observations which would lead to her idcn-
tihcatiOn. From the description, however.
it would appear to be the French banker
st. Pierre, sailing from st. Pierre
with crew of fifteen men. The
banker Ruby NJ, Of Fortune, n. f.,
has just arrived, having ridden out the
gale, but with the unfortunate intelligence
that her captain was knocked overheard by
a stroke from the end OF the cable. There
are five banking schooncrs missing from
BARN, five from Grand Bank and one from
Burgeo, all of which were on the banks on
the morning OF the gale and have not yet
been seen or heard from. II the worst should
come to pass and these vessels are lost the
breadwinners Of hundreds will have found
q watery grave. Nor are the south and
west portions OF the coast the only places
that have suffered. A telegram today
from Tilt Cove gives the first report from
Labrador OF the gale, and it states that
from the places so far as heard from as
many as ten schooners have been lost, but
fortunately no lives.
